Technologies

Sliding-head lathe

GeneralMeccanica
specialises in sliding-head turning for the making of parts of considerable
length and reduced diameter.
We are also capable of performing drilling operations and 5-axis milling using
sliding-head lathes, machines that allow operations to be inclined with respect
to the axis of the bar. We have 9 sliding-head lathes.

Machining centres

GeneralMeccanica
has 19 machining centres of which 17 work with 4 axes. Over the years a great
deal of experience has been acquired with this technology, to such an extent
that we can accurately and with a high degree of performance meet the demands
of the elevator and medical industries.

5-axis sharpening

To obtain the best performance from self-drilling products GeneralMeccanica uses a 5 axes sharpening system which allows us to create profiles and to grind complex geometries with a very high degree of accuracy.

Trigonometric programming

GeneralMeccanica's
technical study engineering expertise allow us to program CNC machines using an
innovative system to create tool-paths from unconventional geometric plans.
The full use of trigonometry can often result in the substitution of CAD/CAM
programming with direct trigonometry thereby obtaining optimised and efficient
results.

Deep drilling

Thanks
to numerous insights that have been perfected over the years and thanks to
dedicated equipment GeneralMeccanica can achieve the drilling of lengths of up
to 80 times the diameter with reduced concentricity tolerances.

Production organisation

The organisation of the production process makes use of a KanBan system to ensure Lean process management. It also is supported by an innovative computer system that reports real-time production progress, manages quality control, balanced scorecards and availability and provides other valuable information for managing various tasks.

Tumbling & deburring

In
order to remove sharp edges and to obtain homogeneous surfaces products may be
subjected to tumbling and deburring operations. At GeneralMeccanica this
technique is employed in various ways in order to achieve various objectives, for
example the smoothing of the outer surface of components in order to avoid the
formation of cracks or the deburring of sharp edges.

Electropolishing and passivation

The
process of Electropolishing results in particularly smooth and shiny surfaces,
increases resistance to corrosion, removes blemishes, small superficial
inclusions and micro-cracks and increases the hygienic state of the surface.
In addition to the Electropolishing process we also have baths for carrying out
passivation operations on products.
